It is of two types :-

1. Aerobic 2. Anaerobic

Aerobic respiration :-

• It the presence of Oxygen and occurs in mitochondria.
• Glucose is completely broken down into Carbondioxide and water.
• It releases more energy.
• It occurs in most of the organisms in the higher forms of the life....

Anaerobic Respiration :-

• It occurs in the absence of the oxygen in the cytoplasm.
• It results in the incomplete oxidation of glucose into lactic acid in the animals and tetheye acids in the plants.
• It releases lesser energy.
• It takes places in the certain bacteria , yeast , and certain tissues of the higher organisms, in humans during vigorous muscular exercise. When the demand of oxygen is more than the supply ; muscles start respiring anaerobically temporarily.
